NAPA VALLEY

Lamb Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon

Nestled at the foot of the Palisades in Northern Napa Valley, the Lamb Vineyard has been a source of great pride for our family over the past quarter of a century. Named for Juelle's family, the vineyard was planted to Cabernet in 1982 and consistently yields small quantities of fruit that produce wine with a rare combination of rich concentrated flavors, velvet texture and elegance (read more about the vineyard).

Tasting Notes

Glass-staining ruby. Explosive aromas of candied black and blue fruits, vanilla, cola and lavender. Sweet and intensely aromatic in the mouth, showing suave blueberry and cassis flavors, a velvety texture and an array of smoky spice qualities. Finishes sappy, sweet and very long, with lingering florality and very soft tannins. (93 points)
